This week, some of our servers that were running Tronprint started having DNS problems. Tronprint was unable to connect to our MongoHQ database and our sites crashed. We’ve updated the Tronprint gem to handle connection issues to any database. In the case of a lost connection or a problem saving statistics, Tronprint will simply keep running and wait for the connection to become available again. This means that data could be lost if a connection is never recovered and the application process quits. However, the connection failure will not affect the operation of your site.

We’ve also created a Twitter account to keep you updated on new versions and features.
